Best COD Mobile Guns: Season 11 Meta & Loadouts (2025)

Call of Duty: Mobile Season 11 is now live! With the sixth anniversary celebration, the new DMZ mode, Street Fighter collaboration, and extensive weapon balance changes, the battlefield meta has shifted significantly.

To help you get ahead in the new season, our team has analyzed the S11 weapon balance patch, reviewed professional players' updated TTK assessments, and examined high-rank competitive data to bring you this Season 11 tier list.

Use it to quickly adapt to the current meta and push through the ranks in CODM Mobile with confidence!

How to Choose the Best Guns in CODM?

Before we reveal the rankings, let's establish our criteria. This tier list goes beyond raw stats and evaluates weapons based on four practical factors for Season 11 ranked play:

Real TTK: Theoretical time to kill must be fast enough (typically 200ms to 280ms) and remain competitive even at range.
Consistency and Control: This includes recoil pattern and bullet spread accuracy (BSA). If a gun requires pro-level recoil control just to land shots, it's not viable for most players.
Mobility: In a fast-paced season like S11, your ADS time and sprint-to-fire speed often decide who wins close encounters.
Versatility: Can the weapon adapt to different combat scenarios and game modes through Gunsmith attachments (like switching from aggressive rushing to holding angles at mid range)?

With that out of the way, let's jump into the rankings. 👇

10: Holger 26

Weapon Type: Light Machine Gun

As an LMG, the Holger's biggest strength is its 100-round magazine combined with stable recoil, making it the top choice for holding positions and suppressing enemies.

Unlike other LMGs, the Holger can achieve an ADS time around 250ms with the right attachments, giving it decent mobility without feeling like you're lugging around a cannon. In Hardpoint, the Holger lets you keep constant pressure on enemies without worrying about running dry.

Recommended Loadout:

Barrel: OWC Marksman
Stock: No Stock (improves mobility)
Magazine: 100 Round Mags (default)
Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape
Underbarrel: Operator Foregrip

Best For: Multiplayer (Hardpoint) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Ranked ⭐⭐⭐ | Battle Royale ⭐⭐

9: LW3 Tundra

Weapon Type: Sniper Rifle

After its nerf in S10, many thought the Tundra would drop off the list. But in practice, it's still the best all-around sniper rifle available.

The Tundra excels with its fast fire rate and high mobility while maintaining one-shot kill potential. Compared to heavy snipers like the Three-Line Rifle or ZRG 20mm, the Tundra has an extremely short sprint-to-fire time, allowing players to quickscope and clutch close encounters.

It's currently the only sniper that can keep up with S11's fast pace in high-rank lobbies.

Sniper Loadout:

Barrel: Tiger Team Barrel
Laser: OWC Laser Tactical
Rear Grip: Serpent Wrap
Magazine: 7 Rnd Mag
Stock: Raider Pad

Best For: Ranked (S&D) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Battle Royale ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Multiplayer ⭐⭐⭐

8: Type 19

Weapon Type: Assault Rifle

The Type 19's greatest strength is its consistency in any situation. This gun has purely vertical recoil with less than 5 degrees of deviation, meaning you just pull straight down for perfect control without dealing with horizontal drift like other ARs.

Even better, the Type 19 has an effective range of 5 to 40 meters, which covers roughly 80% of gunfights in CODM, making it a true all-range weapon.

Worth noting that as a CODM original weapon, it has very clean iron sights (especially the Mythic Celestial Ink skin).

Recommended Loadout:

Muzzle: North Industry Integrated Suppressor
Barrel: Agile Stock
Rear Grip: Polymer Grip
Magazine: Fast Reload Mag
Underbarrel/Optic: Choose based on map size (laser for small maps, optic for large maps)

Best For: All Modes ⭐⭐⭐⭐

7: Type 63

Weapon Type: Marksman Rifle

As a semi-automatic weapon, the Type 63's killer advantage is "SKS damage with assault rifle mobility."

Compared to the SKS with its 0.6 hit flinch and slower ADS, the Type 63 has a base ADS time of 257ms and better flinch resistance. If you can tap fast enough with the Titanium Barrel, its fire rate can exceed 350 RPM. With its 2-tap kill potential, it can instantly melt opponents even in close-range encounters.

Loadout Setup:

Muzzle: GRU Silencer
Barrel: 16.4" Titanium
Stock: KGB Pad
Rear Grip: GRU Elastic Wrap
Optic: 3x Tactical Scope

Best For: Battle Royale ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Multiplayer ⭐⭐⭐ | DMZ ⭐⭐⭐⭐

6: DR-H

Weapon Type: Assault Rifle

The DR-H has dominated ranked for over a year and still hasn't fallen from the top tier. With the OTM magazine (25 rounds), the DR-H achieves a devastating three-shot kill, making it nearly unbeatable in mid-range duels.

Its core advantage is the hitscan mechanics (instant hit with no bullet travel time) combined with only 4.2 degrees of vertical recoil, giving it exceptional accuracy at 25 to 40 meters. Perfect for precise mid to long range eliminations.

Classic Loadout:

Magazine: OTM 25 Round Mag (essential)
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape
Barrel: OWC Ranger
Optic/Laser: Choose based on preference

Best For: Ranked ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Multiplayer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Battle Royale ⭐⭐⭐

5: VMP

Weapon Type: SMG

If you're an aggressive player who loves close-quarters combat, the VMP is made for you. While the new update slightly nerfed its hip-fire spread, it hasn't shaken its dominance within 10 meters.

The VMP's strength lies in its blistering 855 RPM fire rate, delivering terrifying burst damage up close. Combined with excellent mobility, you can secure kills before enemies even finish ADSing.

More importantly, unlike the Fennec's uncontrollable vertical recoil, the VMP's recoil simply kicks slightly upward to the right. With a bit of practice, you can maintain high accuracy even at mid-range (around 15 meters).

Loadout Setup:

Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: Short barrel (improves mobility)
Laser: Operator Foregrip or OWC Tactical Laser
Magazine: 45 Round Extended Mag
Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape

Best For: Multiplayer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Ranked ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Battle Royale ⭐⭐

4: Oden

Weapon Type: Assault Rifle

The Oden has an extreme skill gap. In skilled hands, it's the only assault rifle that can achieve a 2-tap kill at any range, with single-shot damage strong enough to suppress enemies behind cover. But for beginners, its low fire rate and high punishment make it unforgiving.

While S11 slightly nerfed the mobility bonuses on Light Stock and Operator Foregrip, its mid to long range dominance remains intact. Once you get used to its firing rhythm, the Oden is essentially a full-auto SKS.

Key Tip: You must aim for upper chest with the Oden. Leg shots won't get you the two-shot kill.

Loadout Recommendation:

Muzzle: Colossus Suppressor
Barrel: OWC Marksman
Optic: Red dot or holographic
Rear Grip: Stippled Grip Tape
Laser/Underbarrel: OWC Laser Tactical

Best For: Multiplayer ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Battle Royale ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Ranked ⭐⭐⭐⭐

3: HVK-30

Weapon Type: Assault Rifle

The HVK-30 received a buff in early 2025, and with Large Caliber ammo, its damage output jumped straight into the top tier. This gun excels at burst damage and can nearly instant-kill opponents at close to mid range.

However, it has clear weaknesses: small magazine capacity (Large Caliber mag only holds 25 rounds) and high ammo consumption due to fast fire rate. This requires precision and decisiveness. You need to count your shots. Veterans know the HVK demands good rhythm and timing.

Recommended Loadout:

Magazine: Large Caliber Mag (essential!)
Barrel: OWC Marksman/MIP Light Barrel
Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape
Laser: OWC Tactical Laser

Best For: Multiplayer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Ranked ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Battle Royale ⭐⭐⭐

2: BP50

Weapon Type: Assault Rifle

The BP50's core strength is its exceptional stability with virtually no recoil. Equipped with the Leroy Rapid Barrel, its fire rate climbs above 930 RPM, giving it outstanding sustained damage in fights.

While S11 made minor adjustments to the BP50's range and leg damage multiplier, its unique combination of assault rifle range with SMG-level fire rate remains unmatched. Add the 60-round drum mag, and the BP50 has serious suppressive power at close to mid range, making it a reliable primary weapon that handles multiple targets with ease.

Best Loadout:

Muzzle: Maxim Silencer
Barrel: Leroy 438mm Rapid Barrel
Stock: Leroy Custom Stock
Magazine: 60 Round Drum
Rear Grip: Granulated Grip Tape

Best For: Multiplayer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Battle Royale ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | DMZ ⭐⭐⭐⭐

1: USS9

Weapon Type: SMG

Since landing in S10, the USS9 has dominated the meta with absolute authority. The S11 balance patch left it untouched, meaning it's still the undisputed number one in ranked.

What makes it terrifying is "SMG mobility with AR range coverage." Most SMGs start tickling at 20 meters, but the USS9 has excellent base damage multipliers that enable a high probability 3-shot kill within the critical 0 to 18 meter range, delivering a devastating 150ms TTK.

Best Loadout:

Muzzle: Monolithic Suppressor
Barrel: OWC Marksman (improves range and accuracy)
Stock: No Stock
Laser: OWC Laser Tactical (improves hip-fire accuracy)
Magazine: Large Extended Mag B
Laser/Rear Grip: OWC Tactical Laser

Best For: All Modes (T0 Domination Level) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Which Guns Are Best for New Players?

The biggest issue for new players isn't damage output but recoil control and accuracy. That's why we recommend low-recoil, high-forgiveness weapons that let you focus on positioning and map awareness.

Top Pick: BP50
This gun has minimal recoil, almost like built-in aim assist. Plus, with a 60-round mag and high fire rate, even if your first few shots miss, the bullet stream will still secure the kill. Extremely forgiving.
Second Pick: Type 19
Its biggest advantage is purely vertical recoil. Unlike the USS9 or HVK, which bounce left and right, you simply pull down while firing without any horizontal adjustment. The iron sights are also very clean with minimal obstruction. Another very beginner-friendly option.

As for the top three weapons like USS9, HVK-30, and Oden, they're not suitable for beginners due to complex recoil patterns, small magazine capacity (HVK-30), or extremely high accuracy requirements (Oden).

How to Unlock These Powerful Weapons?

Most weapons on this list can be obtained for free, though unlock paths and time required vary. Here are the three main methods:

Account Level

As you gain experience in multiplayer and raise your account level, several strong base weapons automatically unlock:

BP50: Unlocks around account level 15
Type 19: Unlocks around account level 25
HVK-30, Holger 26: Part of the base weapon pool, unlocked naturally with level progression

Challenge Missions and Events

The following weapons unlock through seasonal events or challenge missions. Complete the specified objectives to claim them:

Weapon	Unlock Method	Difficulty Guide
Oden	Complete 150 kills with assault rifles in multiplayer	Not too hard, takes about 10 to 15 matches
XM4	Complete specific anniversary event tasks (S11)	Easy missions, beginner friendly
Type 63	Get 50 headshot kills with marksman rifles	Slightly harder, recommend grinding in Team Deathmatch
LW3 Tundra	Reach Elite tier in Battle Royale ranked, or purchase with 2000 credits in the credit store	Just buy it with credits, much easier

Season Pass (Main Source for New Weapons)

Current Season New Guns (Free Unlock):

Each season's newest weapon is typically placed at tier 21 of the Free Pass. All players can unlock it for free by leveling up through matches.

Missed Season Guns (Older Weapons):

If you missed reward weapons from past season passes (like the USS9 from S10 or VMP from S9), they don't disappear forever. They enter a "rotation period" and eventually return through the credit store or weapon challenge missions.

Additionally, while base weapons and premium skins have identical stats, Mythic and Legendary variants often come with cleaner iron sights, better visual feedback for shots and kills, and more optimized preset attachments.

If you want to unlock the premium pass, pull for rare skins, or purchase bundles, you'll need CP (COD Points). Given the high in-game prices, a smarter way to top up CODM CP is through GamsGo, which saves you roughly 35%.

Delivery usually takes 1 to 2 seconds and is secure and reliable. For players who frequently upgrade passes or participate in draws, this significantly reduces overall costs.

Best Weapon Choices for Different Scenarios

While we've ranked the top 10 weapons for CODM this season, no single gun works for every combat situation.

To consistently climb the rankings, you need to adjust your weapon loadout based on different combat scenarios. Below, we'll recommend the best weapon combinations from two perspectives: game mode and engagement distance.

By Game Mode

Game Mode	Primary Choice	Backup Options	Core Reason
Ranked	USS9	BP50, Type 19	Ranked is fast paced with low margin for error. USS9's all-range dominance keeps you competitive in any situation. BP50 suits steady players.
Team Deathmatch (TDM)	BP50	HVK-30, VMP	TDM is pure kill farming. BP50's 60-round mag and low recoil let you rack up kills without constant reloading.
Hardpoint	Holger 26	BP50, USS9	Hardpoint demands sustained fire. Holger's 100-round mag lets you lock down the point. Switch to USS9 on close-range maps.
Search & Destroy (S&D)	USS9	Type 63, LW3 Tundra	S&D gives you one life, requiring quick kill potential. USS9 dominates close range, swap to Type 63/Tundra for distance.
Domination	Type 19	BP50, XM4	Domination requires frequent rotations. Type 19's versatility handles varying engagement distances at different points.
Battle Royale (BR)	Type 63	BP50, Oden	BR maps are massive, making long-range precision crucial. Type 63's 2-tap potential and fire rate beat traditional snipers.
DMZ Mode	BP50	USS9, Type 63	DMZ throws numerous PvE enemies at you. BP50's large mag and stability keep you steady against multiple AI targets.

By Engagement Distance

Distance	Best Choice	Why	TTK Reference
0-10m (Point Blank)	VMP, USS9	Ultra-high fire rate with 3-shot kills. Quick players can pure hip-fire.	VMP: ~180ms USS9: ~200ms
10-20m (Close Range)	USS9, HVK-30	USS9 maintains 3-shot kills. HVK with Large Cal delivers explosive damage.	USS9: ~220ms HVK-30: ~210ms
20-35m (Mid Range)	BP50, Type 19, DR-H	This range tests stability and consistency. BP50 has virtually no recoil.	BP50: ~250ms Type 19: ~260ms
35-50m (Long Mid Range)	Oden, Type 63	Requires precise tapping. Oden's 2-tap is deadly but demands accuracy. Type 63 is easier to learn.	Oden: ~240ms Type 63: ~270ms
50m+ (Long Range)	Type 63, LW3 Tundra	Standard weapons have too much spread at this distance. Need marksman rifles or snipers.	Type 63: 2-tap Tundra: 1-tap

The key isn't blindly chasing the "strongest weapon" but choosing the right tool for each situation. Experiment with different combinations to find what fits your playstyle, and you'll maximize your performance on the battlefield.
